If you're unable to upload the Academic/Employer contact lists, there may be a few reasons for that. Please ensure the file doesn't include these commonly made mistakes that are shown in the centre of the page.
- 2 emails in the same field, blank email field, not adding @ in an email, duplicate emails, special characters (!,%,?, etc.) in the emails. Please make sure you give the information of specific people, not general email addresses such as info@xy.com or hello@xy.com
- CSV UTF 8 format not used
- template not used/followed: wrong column headings (including upper/lowercase), changing the columns order, data in irrelevant columns, not using transpose option but copy-paste and everything goes in column A
- line breaks within cells or hidden rows aren`t allowed
- more than 400 contacts (often caused by line breaks within cells)
-
First Name /Last Name /Job Title /Department /Institution /Location / Email are blank (these are mandatory)
Running the file through https://csvlint.io can also be helpful to see whether there are any problems since it lists all the errors per row.
